Storage medium, software installation method and anti-pirate module

Abstract

An anti-piracy storage media comprises a first storage space and a second storage space. The first storage space is of read-only attribute, and stores an anti-piracy software installation program, and the second storage space is used for storing a hardware identification code of an electronic device. When software is installed, the anti-piracy software installation program runs automatically, accesses the second storage space and reads the hardware identification code of the electronic device which operates the storage device, when the second storage space is accessed and has a hardware identification code which is the same as the read hardware identification code of the electronic device, or the second storage space has a write-once region which is not written and the hardware identification code is written in the region, the anti-piracy software installation program of the storage media can continue running and install the corresponding software in the electronic device. The invention further provides an anti-piracy method. By the anti-piracy storage media and the anti-piracy method, piracy can be prevented and the number of the electronic devices installed with the software canbe limited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a storage medium and a software installation method, in particular to an anti-piracy storage medium, a software installation method and an anti-piracy module. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development of the computer industry, there are more and more various application software. These application software are stored in storage media such as CDs or floppy disks when they are sold, and are generally registered through the registration information in the storage media. Serial number, etc. to install the application software. Although this method is simple, the application software can be installed repeatedly, often one application software is installed on multiple computers or other electronic devices, which greatly reduces the market demand for the application software. In addition, pirated software is rampant in the domestic market, with a market share of 30-40%, seriously affecting the interests of the so...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when this method is registered, the computer needs to be connected to the Internet, which brings inconvenience to the user to install the software, and the software can only be installed on one computer. If it is a group customer, it needs to be installed on multiple computers at the same time. To install the software on the computer, you need to purchase a corresponding number of sets of software, which is troublesome to purchase and brings inconvenience to the customer's fixed asset management

In addition, the installation information is recorded in the manufacturer's database through the network, and it is likely to be attacked by hackers, so that the recorded serial number, registration code, hardware identification code, and password and other information are tampered with or lost, making the software protection failure
